Gattuso confident AC will go through

AC Milan hardman Gennaro Gattuso has warned Manchester United to steel themselves for an almighty battle when they visit the San Siro for the second leg of their Champions League semi-final.

The tie is delicately poised after United’s 3-2 win at Old Trafford on Tuesday, although Wayne Rooney’s stoppage-time winner makes the English club marginal favourites to advance to next month’s final.

But Gattuso, who was badly missed after being forced off with a foot injury, insisted the Italians could still clinch their third final appearance in five years.
